IN MEMORIAM
•
WILLIAM E. DAUGHTREY
The sudden loss of our popular and talented young
coach. Bill Daughtrey, saddened the year for Suffolk
High School. His winning personality and high ideals
of sportsmanship won for him the deep respect of his
teams and the friendship of all who knew him. Our
loss is irrevocable but his fine influence will be felt for
years in the lives of those who knew and loved him.

Senior Class in the capacity of president. The
other officers elected were: Virginia Morgan,
vice-president; Jack Howell, secretary; and
18

letter “S.” The shanks bore the year of graduation in figures.

Vice-Chairman for the State Convention of the Virginia Junior League of the Cooperative
Education Association.

The Junior class this year has taken its part in the activities of the school — athletic,
literary, and dramatic — and has won for itself many honors.
Foremost among its activities is its part on the athletic field. Edward Wills, captain
of the 1936 and 1937 teams. Joe Henry Bagley and Floyd Bradshaw were valuable
lettermen in football. Although none of the eight Juniors on the boys' and girls’ basketball
teams received letters, each was an important factor in making the season a success. In
track, wrestling, baseball, and tennis, the Juniors were again outstanding. Evelyn Eason
was assistant manager of the basketball team; Alec DeArmon. manager of the wrestling
team; Fmmett Hines, manager of track; and Robert Harrell, assistant manager of the
baseball team. Of the five cheerleaders to receive awards, one — Dorothy Johnson — was
a Junior.
In literary activities the Junior class was also active with many of its members on the
news, business and circulation staffs of the Peanut Picker. Margaret Eaton was rewrite
editor, and Mary Hobbs became news editor in April. Working on the Peanut were:
Martha Virginia Elam, photographic editor; Bettie Lee Stutson. an assistant editor; and
Gerald Rose, snapshot photographer.
In the Virginia State Latin Tournament, the Cicero class w’as represented by Mar¬
garet Eaton.
The dramatic and musical productions were well supported by the Junior class. Mae
Leggett. Aubrey Brown. R. B. Hill. Augustus Bittner. Ralph Roe, and Holmes Small
took prominent parts in the fall play. Margaret Burton sang one of the feature roles in the
operetta, and Ruth Jones was pianist for the Glee Club.
Many Juniors received horor awards. Triangle awards went to Judy Wilson. Robert

The Student Senate is the clearing-house for all student activities in Suffolk High School. This body
was organized ten years ago. not for the purpose of governing, or disciplining the pupils, but lo give each
student a larger responsibility in the different activities of school life. It has retained this purpose through¬
out the entire period of its existence.
This year, all social events have been authorized by the Senate. A number of clubs have been given
charters, including the Glee Club. Music Appreciation Club, Junior Dramatic Club. Monogram Club, and
Sigma Sigma. During American Education Week, the Senate successfully sponsored a Patron's Night to
show how the school is run. The chief function of this organization, however, has been the presentation
of Circle and Triangle awards to those pupils who have served the school. In these various ways the
Student Senate keeps its finger on the pulse of the school.

For several years Suffolk High School has presented two types of awards to pupils
who have performed meritorious services for the school. The Student Senate is given the
power to decide whether a student deserves a Circle or a Triangle award, and a special
committee thoroughly investigates the qualifications of each candidate.
Circle awards are presented for excellence in both scholarship and extra-curricula
activities. An honor roll average is required, and the student must do creditable work in
some school activity, such as the newspaper, the annual, school organizations, clubs, ticket¬
selling campaigns, or school athletics.

Triangle awards are presented to those pupils who have performed an outstanding
service in some school activity. These activities include dramatic, literary, and athletic
achievements and also the production and financial management of the annual, newspaper
and plays. Several pupils received triangles for their diligent work on the program or
refreshment committee at the football games; others, for their contributions to the establish¬
ment and success of a school club. All the awards were presented to the pupils during a
weekly assembly of the entire school. Thus, each member of the Triangle Club was given
recognition for his contribution to school life.

secured this year as professor of music at Suffolk High School. Through his efforts and
enthusiasm he has made the Glee Club an outstanding organization in this school.
The foremost achievement of the club this year has been the successful production of
the operetta "Riding Down the Sky." This musical comedy is a gay romance of a dashing
American aviator and a lovely senorita. Besides the main cast, more than seventy pupils
took part in the four choruses.
Under the supervision of Mr. Paul Brown of Portsmouth, Virginia, the orchestra
was reorganized in Suffolk High School this year. This orchestra, consisting of eight pieces,
played the accompaniment for the operetta.
On December 22, with the Christmas holidays approaching, the Glee Club presented
a program of carols. Vested and with candles in hand, this procession made an impressive
sight. Both Glee Club and Orchestra contributed to the success of the year by presenting
the musical program for the commencement exercises.

The Monogram Club, composed of lettermen in the varsity sports, was organized
the first part of this year with three purposes in mind ; first, to aid the development of intra¬
mural sports; second, to promote better sportsmanship; and third, to foster a better spirit of
good fellowship among the student body.
That the Monogram Club has achieved these aims is well known. The club members
assisted and aided all they could in intramural sports. During basketball season the members
concentrated on sportsmanship, and were to some extent responsible for the improved order
at the basketball games. Probably the most important work of the club has been that of
bringing the students of Suffolk High School into close contact with one another at informal
social affairs. The club attained this by sponsoring two dances both of which were highly
successful. These social functions were not only enjoyed very much but were also attended
with perfect order. The club has served its purpose well and has done much toward making
the past year a success.

Miss Mitchell’s Sophomore homeroom has this year won the distinction of being the
most outstanding room in Suffolk High School. Its greatest achievement was winning first
place in the contest held between the rooms on Patron's Night. This event was sponsored
by the Student Senate and added much to the success of Suffolk High School’s observance
of American Education Week. Points were given to each homeroom for its attractiveness
and for the number of parents which represented it. Miss Mitchell’s room was driven in
state to a football game and each member received a bag of peanuts as his reward for
winning.
This homeroom has been outstanding in many activities. The entire class subscribed
to the Peanut Picker and over half the class subscribed to the annual. Each week about
seventy per cent of the class banked, and during the Red Cross drive, this class contributed
largely. It ranked high both in scholarship and in athletics, having one or two on the Rank
of Excellence each month, and being well represented on the football and basketball teams.

Having held the State Class B Championship in Eastern Virginia for the past two
years. Suffolk High had a reputation to uphold as it opened its 1936 grid season. After a
month of intense training, the Peanuts opened their season with Oceana. Clicking like one.
they scored at will against the hopeless Oceana eleven. Fresh from their 30 to 7 victory
over Oceana, the powerful Suffolk eleven drove over Chester 48 to 0 the following week.
Next, Suffolk met the Randclph-Macon B Team. Rar.dolph-Macon was the heavy
favorite to win, but the Peanuts smashed and passed their way to a 20 to 0 victory. The
next week the Suffolk squad snapped into action against our old rivals. South Norfolk, and
though slow starting finally began to click and completely routed the Tigers, winning 37
to 0. The Peanut squad suffered its first defeat the following week. Although lead¬
ing 7 to 6 at the half, the Peanuts were forced to accept defeat, as Hopewell scored near
the end of the game to win, I 3 to 7. Suffolk snapped back into the win column as it
defeated McGuires of Richmond. 32 to 0, and Victoria, 18 to 6. Then Suffolk began
preparing for the game of the year. Wilson. The Peanuts arose to the occasion and though
defeated. 19 to 12. played their best game of the season. Suffolk was then chosen to play
Fredericksburg for the Class B Championship of Eastern Virginia. Here the Peanuts
suffered their worst defeat of the season losing. 27 to 6. The season was very successful,
Suffolk winning six games and losing three. Two of the three games lost were to Class A
schools.

of the second team. Here, after fourteen straight victories, the Peanuts were forced to bow
to Maury. Stung by this defeat. Suffolk outclassed South Norfolk the following week and
then defeated Maury for the second time the next week. The Peanuts continued this second
winning streak, defeating Wilson and Hopewell in short order.
Having won the district title, the Peanuts journeyed to Charlottesville to play for the
State title. Here they suffered a heart-breaking one-point defeat at the hands of Har¬

CHEERLEADERS
The largest group of cheerleaders that Suffolk High School has ever had was
organized last September. Since Charles Rawls was the only member of the 1936 squad
to return, there were a number of positions open. After several weeks of practice, try-outs
were held and ten members were selected from a large group of aspirants. They were:
Marie Elliott, B. C. Ellis. Mary Georgie Gay. Willard Hart. Dorothy Johnson, Anne
Parker. Sara Phillips. Charles Rawls. Frances Stallings, and Dorris Withers. This group
selected Frances Stallings to act as head cheerleader.
The cheerleaders were seen at every football game, regardless of weather, adorned
in their white uniforms cheering the team to victory. To keep in style with the sport world
and to afford themselves greater ease in movement, the girls purchased white flannel culottes.
These gave a very effective appearance to the group.
When basketball season opened, only three members remained on the squad. All the
others were in some way affiliated with the basketball squads. Mary Georgie Gay. Anne
Parker, and Frances Stallings continued cheering throughout the basketball season.
At the conclusion of the season, the Student Senate awarded five letters to the cheer¬
leaders. Since it was impossible to award a letter to every member of the team, it decided
to give monograms to the ones that had cheered at the greatest number of games. These
letters were given to Mary Georgie Gay. Dorothy Johnson. Anne Parker. Charles Rawls,
and Frances Stallings. All of these arc Seniors except Dorothy Johnson, a Junior.
